SteinskiUS

With partner Double Dee (Douglas DiFranco), in the mid-80s Brooklyn’s Steinski co-produced the series of records known as The Lessons: The Payoff Mix, Lesson 2 (The James Brown Mix), Lesson 3 (The History Of Hiphop) for the Tommy Boy label. Cited as definitive releases by DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Fatboy Slim, and Coldcut, these analog tape cut-and-paste collages, still widely bootlegged (and wildly illegal), are generally acknowledged as three of the most influential works in the world of hip-hop and dance music production.
